So despite what we think, feel or believe, we need to remind ourselves that God is in control. When everything around us feels out of control, we can allow Scripture to prove to us that God has been, is, and will be sovereign over our lives and world. In Exodus, God clearly sent the plagues in Egypt.
In Genesis, God sent the flood. When we read about Jonah, we see that God hurled a storm into the sea. Understand that there is one God in heaven Who is King and Lord of all. God is trying to get our attention; He wants to heal our land, but we must turn to Him with all our heart and soul. For He says in [2 Chronicles ]: If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people; What can mere man do about it?
